For Memorial Day we went to Tempe Town Lake and played at the water park with some friends.
Amber and Westin

Kayla and Nicholas
Zachary (Kayla and Nicholas in background)
Kayla's little man, Xander! He truly loves water and didn't even flinch at the coldness.
It was a lot of fun and we all went home with red shoulders even though we were sun blocked!

I've been Tagged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been tagged by Diane! :)
The Rules:
- 1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
- 2. People that are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.
- 3. At the end of your post tag 8 people and include their names.Don't forget to leave them a comment on their blog to tell them they've been tagged, and to comment back and read your blog for the whole story.
- I love sports! Lately I haven't been involved myself, but I use to play co-ed softball and it would boost my ego when I was just visiting and wanting to play and the teams would argue which team I would be on. Now, I love supporting my boys in baseball and football. And my daughter in tennis.
- This Mother's Day I received a lot of notes and letters from children and the main point from them was "Mom, you rock!" So, I guess I am a rockin mom!
- Although I have some weight to lose, I love working out! I always challenge my 11 year old son with "suicide crunches". That is where you count 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4, ....all the way to 20. We just started doing that.
- My favorite thing to do for relaxing...with a friend or by myself, is getting a gelato and eating it while I get a pedicure.
- I love dating my husband! It's been 12 1/2 years!!
- I love to shop! I wouldn't know what to do if Ebay shut down!
- I have learned so many things through some tough experiences.... So many blessings have sprouted from them. For example, losing our home of 8 years to a fire, we are happier than ever now, in our new home and community. And, the loss of my second child, I feel that I have a greater bond with my children because they are truly gifts from above. Also, I've learned that I don't cry during tragic events, rather, I breakdown when I have a moment to myself and then thank my Heavenly Father for his comfort. I know I have a great family and friends around me that support me, so I move on...................
- I love that every day I can choose the mood of my day! ( even when my two young tornadoes hit! )( I am learning to move past the angry moments. Yes, I am human and still get PMS moments) :) I love hanging out with great friends at the park and letting our children play.(relief!!) I would do that everyday!!!!!!
Now, I Tag!!! The eight lucky people are: Sandi, Shawnie, Natalie M., Kayla, Kenyon, Libby, Echelle, and Lindsey

Westin loves Pirates!! I did make him a pirate ship cake, just not this one. And we ate at Pirate fish and chips on Lindsey/University where he got a little black pouch with a gold coin. We made eye patches and had a blast!! It was just the family, small and simple. I thought that Corey had a baseball game that night so, I didn't plan anything, turned out that he didn't and it was the next day... oh well. UUURRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Mate!

Happy Easter!!
Where is the time going!? Jason and I took our kids and some friends to our family cabin for Easter. There was snow and we really enjoyed it! The ladies enjoyed the relaxation while the guys enjoyed the attempts to fish and go shooting. We hid easter baskets and easter eggs on Sat. and played card games. On Sunday we went to a local ward for sacrament and then back to the cabin. We made homemade pizza before we cleaned up and left to head back home. It was a nice short and sweet vacation.
